Hassle Free Hiring
A privately owned construction group launching its first £50m mixed-tenure development needed an experienced Project Director in a new region with limited talent pools. Daniel Owen took a proactive approach, headhunting and tailoring the hiring process to secure the right leader for the multi-phase project — all without disruption to the client’s focus on delivery.
The Client
The Challenge
An experienced project manager was needed to plan and oversee the delivery of an upcoming programme of works to upgrade housing stock in line with social housing decarbonisation regulations (SHDF). Timescales were unusually tight due to the start date of decarbonisation works, so a clearly defined timescale was agreed upon between Daniel Owen and the client.
The Solution
We strategically headhunted candidates and collated a shortlist of three highly experienced candidates, each with relevant expertise in large-scale developments. We presented the client with detailed CVs and tailored references to ensure they understood each candidate's fit for the project.
The Result
A decarbonisation specialist project manager was appointed for the role following thorough interviews, assessments, and selection processes conducted by Daniel Owen and the client. All key recruitment milestones were achieved, and the successful candidate started on the targeted date.
